I'm Joe Posnansky and with me is Michael Schor.

Thank you for having me Joe.

You're welcome. It still seemed like there was a little bit of a pause.

And I have a theory about the pause between my question and you answering.

Here's what I think. I think that pause was a moment or an instant of reflection

about the Connecticut National Championship team. That's what I think.

I think it was an honor of your Connecticut's.

I think it's probably a bad audio delay on our Zoom.

But let's go with your theory. Let me just say something about University of Connecticut.

And I talked about this on the on the mothership. The Dan Lepotar show was too good.

This was my stat of the day. Yes.

I spent most of my life in Connecticut or my formative years.

I moved there when I was like three and I was there until I was 18.

Except for one way. I gotta tell you by the way it's not most of your life anymore.

No, well that's why I had to change it to formative years. It's like a third of my life.

But here's the thing about Connecticut. I am fiercely loyal to the state of Connecticut.

I love Connecticut. Connecticut was a great place to grow up.

It was safe and clean and nice and the people were friendly and the public education system was remarkably good.

And I had a very lovely, we didn't, we weren't very wealthy.

But we had, I just had a lovely, mostly carefree childhood.

And I'm very grateful for that. And I realize how lucky I am that I am able to say that.

And the role that Connecticut played in that mostly happy childhood.
